A group of researchers set out to explore how climate change is interacting with decades-old housing policy.
They overlaid two sets of maps: One set showing how neighborhoods in over 100 US cities were “red-lined” in the 1930’s. The other showing surface temperatures of the same neighborhoods today.
To learn more about what they found, reporter Mallory Noe-Payne took a drive around Richmond with one of the scientists behind the work.
